    My favorite tracking tool is Prosper 202.

    haven't tried so many others, but I am very comfortable using it!

      I heard a lot about prosper 202. Is it especially for PPC tracking only?

          I've used Prosper202 and Google Analytics as my tracking tools but Prosper202 works better for me and would definitely recommend especially for paid traffics.

    I use Piwik for Analytics and conversions for organic.

    I also use Prosper202 for all paid traffic and I've set this up to track Opt-Ins too.

      Never heard of it, and their website is gone. That should tell you something, stick with the tried and tested solutions.

    My favorite is Adtrackz Gold.

    It allows you to setup tracking links for EACH of your different traffic sources so you can see exactly how many visitors, subscribers, and sales were generated from each.

    This allows you to zone in on the most effective strategies in your business because you can track the full funnel.

    Cheers,

      Ive never tried that system, but Prosper202 can do all those things and more. Plus its free.

      Is Adtrackz self hosted or do they have all your data?

        So even if you don't do any PPC this tool will work for tracking funnels? I skipped over it because I though it was PPC only.

        I've been using Adwatcher but it's monthly so Adtrackzgold is something I will look in to since it seems to do the same for a one time purchase. Prosper202 as well.

          You can use it for any traffic. Paid or Organic. YouTube click-throughs etc.

          I use it for PPC, PPV and i've recently set it up to track my Aweber Opt-ins.

          I place one piece of code on the landing page, when they click the confirmation link in their email, it sends them to a thank-you page which fires a pixel so I know whats working, what keywords are bringing the visitors, how many opt-ins etc. Its quite technical but I've mastered it now.

    It's StatCounter.com for me. Just keep in mind that if you use Adsense, you might as well use Google's tools because they already know everything about your site's activity.

    Improvely and W3Counter of course. I'm a little biased tho :x

    I track *everything*. I have about 250 different ads running right now, which I can separately track. I also always have a real-time dashboard open in one tab so I can see new referrers and searches as they happen.

    I also have a GeckoBoard set up on a panel on the wall to monitor the day's key signup/revenue metrics. <3 that.

    Hi guys,

    I know it isn't the right thread but I haven't find anything about my question. I'm new to the forum.
    Can anyone tell me if it possible to transfer the Piwik to a different domain? We have loads of domains on both of the Piwik sites we using but we'd like to use 2 dummy domains instead which only would be there for the Piwik's sake.
    Please if anyone know if its possible(and if it is then how?) let me know.

    Thank you'

    Krisz

      I use Piwik but I've never transfered it to another domain. But because its built into a database, I presume you could take a mysql backup of that database, create a new domain and database and use phpmyadmin and reupload that mysql backup to that domain and reconfigure the settings. Also the javascript on the pages would need updating to the new domain. Again, i've never tried it but it seems logical to me.

    Ad Trackz Gold all the way.

    I bought it a couple of weeks back but now I have begun to finally see just how valuable it is.

    So far, in all honesty...Google analytics but I prefer to concentrate on the content rather than the tracking! Maybe later, but for now, I can't be bothered! Yeah, some will say it's REALLY important, but not to me!

    I like seeing who reads and visits my blog though, so I may investigate a little further but since I become addicted rapidly, it could be DISASTROUS for me! Lol! :
